Proposal: A letter signed by developers and industry players proposes a soft fork in BTC to activate OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY (CTV, BIP-119) and OP_CHECKSIGFROMSTACK (CSFS, BIP-348). CTV enables covenants for vaults, layer-2 scalability, and discreet log contracts. CSFS supports flexible signatures for improvements like LN-Symmetry. Both opcodes are simple, tested (CTV on signet, CSFS on Elements), and their review is requested in Bitcoin Core (PR #31989 and #32247) within six months.
Opposition and Concerns:
Implementation: Requires technical review, testnet/signet testing, miner signaling (BIP-9), and community consensus. Decentralized governance complicates the process.
Open Questions:
Current Situation: In 2025, BTC faces tensions between innovation and caution. CTV and CSFS have support, but opposition and decentralized governance hinder consensus. What’s your take?

is it a hard fork or a soft fork that they have to do? Why bother if everything is going to over taken by Bsv. They should just leave it so we could tell the hard core difference in performance and capability
Everything from data , AI ... is going to be on BSV.
BTC is to far behind.
Let BTC where it is , in some old saves.
Safes...
Closets...seed phrases buried , whatever.
The world run on Bitcoin Satoshi Vision !
BTC is for history books and let it there in the expensive dust.
I understand that some people see this as a war; there are many interests at stake. Don't you think a split in the BTC community would benefit BSV? Greg Maxwell, Peter Todd, Luke Dash Jr., and Peiter Wiulle seem more inclined to implement sighashAnyPrevOut than this. They've criticized the use of Speedy Trial for this, but they haven't criticized Taproot. In war, you have to keep the enemy close, right? The true art of war is to conquer, without fighting...
The first one simply makes stuff already possible on BSV possible on BTC. As for the second one, it is sort of possible as described here: https://scryptplatform.medium.com/ecdsa-based-oracles-on-bitcoin-e69d15afe6c5
